Chicago Police Department.

The two armed robberies occurred in the 9200 block of South Bishop Street, according to a police alert.

The suspect is considered armed and dangerous.

A burglar is entering garages through a side door early in the morning, police said.

The shop's owner says he's seen the robber panhandling around the neighborhood.

The event is designed to break down barriers between officers and citizens, organizers said.

A source said the case is being investigated as a possible suicide.

Police on the scene at 11207 S. Vincennes Ave. said nobody appeared seriously hurt.

The store at 10301 S. Sawyer Avenue was robbed at 7:45 p.m. Tuesday, according to Chicago police.

The threat — deemed not "viable" — was made on social media, Chicago Police said.

The robbery was reported Tuesday morning near Millennium Park. 

Five daytime burglaries occurred in the neighborhood in recent weeks, police said.

David Farr faces up to 30 years in prison for the plot that also involved homes in Morgan Park.

In some of the crimes, the burglars used a ruse to get into homes and apartments.

Community policing meetings are set for the Far Northwest Side in October.

There is a link between animal abuse and domestic violence, a Morgan Park police officer said.
